            Abstract

            The title of this paper “Australian Manufacturing Industry — Third Time Lucky?” carries with it the implication that Australia has had two previous attempts at establishing a manufacturing industry in which we failed to achieve the success we desired. We will examine some of the historical and economic reasons for this failure and use this analysis to indicate how we can establish a viable export-oriented manufacturing industry in Austrailia.
